Like I Used To lyrics
by Cyndi Lauper



I know you expected meTo act just like a schoolgirlFollowed your rulesJust like a foolWrapped up in your worldWhat's good for youDon't mean that's so good for meWhat can I do, but hang aroundAnd lose myself just like I used toGo round and round just like a loose screwWell I ain't gonna walkWith my heart in my handAnd take things lying down like beforeWon't take your crap the way I used toAin't gonna be the way it used to,Alright for you, ain't alright for meMaybe I was weak though the averagePerson probably thinks I'm strongerWhen I need someone elseI shut out myself,Scared to say the wrong wordsWhat's right for youDon't think that's alright for meYou spread the glue, so I can't moveAnd stick to you just like I used toGo round and round just like a loose screw...Oh I ain't gonna walkWith my heart in my hand......Ain't gonna do it like I used toGo round and round just like a loose screwAlright for you ain't alright for me, noEverytime you pust me downEverytime you screw me aroundEverytime you do that to meI'm my own possessionI'm my own possession...
